Soles for Souls

About a month ago (as you can see we are trying to catch you up on everything that has been going on here in Cambodia) Chris helped organize and fund raise for an event called Soles for Souls.

One of Asian Hope's outreaches is to invite the kids in the Logos neighborhood to come and get to use the school's pool, playground, and soccer field every Saturday afternoon.  This is obviously a huge blessing to these kids to get to be on this amazing campus.  Additionally, while they are at the school, our Khmer teaching staff also does a bible story or VBS type of time with them. 

Chris is the school sponsor for the Logos Student Government and his group of students wanted to help this outreach by providing shoes for all the kids.  In Cambodia most children spend the majority of their time barefoot, with no protection, they are more susceptible to injury and with little access to first aid and medical care, an infection is likely.

So the students raised money and bought or collected over 200 pairs of shoes to give to these children.  Chris' students gave away the shoes and the Khmer staff taught a lesson on following the footsteps of Jesus.

Another cool event...
